Act VIII: Joint procession

After the three of them chatted, they suddenly found that the sky had darkened. There were more and more people in the tavern, and every now and then there was a sound of horses' hooves on the road outside.

Chel didn't seem to be short of money, and when he learned that the two teenagers were going to eat bread in the evening, he asked the boss to serve two more meat dishes.

"Cair, are you going to the Giant Gate Pass too?" Harrester ate two meals of meat in two days, felt satisfied, and remembered to care for Chel.

"I just came back from there, and now I'm going back to my hometown to rest." Chel replied, spooning his spoon.

"Oh?! Can you elaborate on the situation at the Giant Gate? Rhein asked.

"It's not a good place lately, the demons' attacks have become more and more frequent, and they have almost broken through the pass a few times. Fortunately, there is Captain Selewan himself in charge, otherwise even this place under our feet would have been controlled by the demons! Cair recalls the sight of the gate closing, and is still a little scared.

"Captain Serewan?" Rhine had never heard of this person.

"Even the Captain of Selewan doesn't know that you're still wearing knight's armor from the royal capital......" Chel was speechless for a while. His Majesty the King has a total of 12 10,000 horsemen, each of whom is in charge of 10,000 independent horsemen. Captain Serewan was one of the twelve. Not only is he physically strong and swift as the wind, but he can also perform large-scale, high-level magic! ”

"Oh, that's really strong, the personal strength is strong and there are 10,000 iron horses in hand." Harrester is talking nonsense again.

"It's really strong, yes, but if you are the strongest among the ten thousand horsemen, I will quietly tell you that Seray will never be able to speak the same day as the 'Paladin' Betchernst!" Chell exclaimed quietly as if he was saying something secret. "As for who Betchernst is, I don't know, I've never heard of it before...... I've only read it from the histories of the people in the library in the university town of the royal capital, and I'm now preparing to collect information about this mysterious paladin everywhere and fill in the gaps in the histories. ”

Hearing that someone else mentioned the father who never left his name, Rhine should have been happy, but thinking about his father's lifelong struggle with the demons for the country, from a stinky boy, after more than 100 battles, he became a middle-aged man with stubble, and finally dedicated his life to the kingdom, but in the end he didn't even have a detailed historical record, and he was inexplicably a little angry in his heart.

Halleste listened and didn't say anything.

Rhein smiled awkwardly, pretending to be confused, and now, he couldn't admit his relationship with the man.

"Oh, by the way, you don't want to go to the Giant Gate Pass to fight, do you?" Seeing that the two teenagers were suddenly speechless, Chell felt that they were not very interested in these historical powerhouses, so he asked where the two of them were going. "If so, I advise you to return, a recruit like you may not be able to defeat even a scale demon, and going to the battlefield is simply suicide."

"We did want to go to the Giant Gate Pass, but we didn't think about going to war, we just wanted to see the scene outside......" Rhine replied with a little embarrassment, and it was not too embarrassing to say that we were indeed going to watch the battle.

......

......

At this moment, the dishes on the table suddenly shook slightly, and the noodle soup in the bowl was about to spill out.

"Sonorous... Sonorous... Sonorous..."

Suddenly, there was a clanging sound outside, like countless blacksmiths smashing their hammers on the road...... The sound slowly reached the door of the tavern from far to near.

"What's going on?" Harrest picked up his sword and ran to the door, and the mercenaries and some soldiers in the tavern also ran to the door.

What they saw was a long silver army that stretched to the end of the spectrum. And those sounds were the sound of the soldier's iron armor stomping on the ground. This is what the shopkeeper said, "the combined soldiers of the Templar and the Lord".

The silver soldiers lined up like silver dragons, with an unstoppable momentum. Under such a strong kingdom army, those demons can still be so arrogant, it seems that the demons are indeed extraordinary.

"It seems that this is the reinforcement that Commander Selewan wants." Chell said as he looked at the Silver Dragon Queue.

"What about the 10,000 iron horsemen under the commander of 10,000 horsemen? Can't resist the attacks of those demons? Rhein asked.

"Commander Selewan was just transferred as a commander to temporarily suppress the demon attack. The 10,000 iron horsemen are still in the royal capital, and it is said that the royal capital has also been surging in dark clouds recently...... "Chel said helplessly, it seems that it is really not peaceful everywhere now?

"Compared to the millions of living beings in the periphery, the nobles of the royal capital are more precious, hahahaha......" Harrest remembered that night's "the sword that became the king to eliminate calamity, and became the people's shield to resist harm", and specially sarcastic.

As soon as the giant gate is broken, a large number of demons will pour in like a tidal wave, and at that time, the territory on the edge of this edge may be wiped out within ten days, and hundreds of thousands of people may die in Huangquan. Rhine didn't know what was more important than the lives of the hundreds of thousands of residents of the Far Three Regions here, so this time he didn't refute Harrest, but just looked a little lost.

Most of the combined ranks were infantry, and they looked like there were at least five thousand men.

"With these 5,000 reinforcements and the 10,000 army at Jumen Pass, the demons should have no choice but to take us, right?" A mercenary standing next to Harrester said with a rough laugh, which drew a large number of echoes.

At the head of the army was the knight captain of the lord's command, who was the one who personally examined the teenagers as an examiner in Ota City that day.

"Hey, why are those two little ones here?" The knight captain on the avenue saw the two heads in the crowd at the entrance of the tavern at a glance, and the two teenagers recognized him almost at the same time.

"Line up! Stop! "Just as the army reached the door of the tavern, the captain of the knights gave the order, and the army of five thousand men stopped in turn.

"Rhine, is that him?" Harrester looked at the burly man on the black horse and couldn't believe that they had met again so soon.

"Yes, the knight captain......" Rhine looked at the strong man, although they had been separated for a month, he still remembered his appearance.

When the army stopped, the captain of the knights rode to the tavern on this side. Everyone was puzzled by the commander's actions, and many thought that he was going to recruit soldiers, so they hurriedly retracted their heads and took a few steps back. This time, the two teenagers became more conspicuous in the crowd.

"Why did you two little ones get here without going to class?" When everyone was puzzled, the captain of the knights asked directly in the direction of Rhein and Hallest.

"Ahaha...... I didn't expect the Captain Cavaliers to remember us...... We're going to go to Jumenguan. Hallester tugged at Rhein's sleeve and motioned for him to stop talking.

"You were the first student to point your sword at me, and the one next to you was the first student to knock my sword off, how could I forget you...... However, what are you going to do at Jumen Pass? You're not yet ready to make a difference. The knight captain frowned, and sure enough, he thought the same.

The knight captain thought that if these two teenagers grew up, they could at least be the knight captains under the lord like him, and even go to the next level, and maybe they could become the royal knights of the royal capital. But many good seedlings died early, and these two little guys are going to Jumen Pass now to be similar to looking for death.

"Ahaha...... It is said that the warriors of the Giant Gate Pass are fighting to the death with the demons, and we also want to help, but we are still immature, so we can only do logistics and help cook...... "Hallester has always been very accurate in seeing people, and the words of this knight captain obviously don't want the two of them to die, so he doesn't say those words to find death."

The Cavaliers captain looked at Hallest, and then at Rhine. "Why doesn't the little guy speak? He was very tiger that day...... "The knight captain remembered the sword of that day, and now he is still a little afraid...... But that sword, he seems to have experienced before, it is a feeling that he has personally experienced.

Rhein saw that Harledt had said almost the same, and he could still do it in the end. "Lord Knight, the demon attack is becoming more and more fierce, and I beg my lord to let the two of us do our part!" Rhein made a standard knightly salute, which meant that he was willing to follow the arrangement.

The knight captain saw Rhine's serious appearance, and touched his forehead in embarrassment for a while.

"Alas...... Okay, then take the two of you with me, but when you get to the giant gate, you must obey the order and don't act without permission!" The captain of the knights thought about it, it would be good to let these two teenagers sharpen it first, which would also be of great benefit to their future careers. "You guys shouldn't have come here, did you? Get on your horse and follow the carriage behind you! ”

"Yes!" The two teenagers replied in a loud and neat voice.

Some of the mercenaries and bounty hunters next to them were stunned, they didn't expect that the knight captain who commanded the army of five thousand would actually come to talk to the two children in person. The bard also looked at the two teenagers with some interest.

"The knight captain asked you to follow the carriage to help you find a shortcut, that carriage is a royal carriage, and it is a dragon pattern carriage that only His Majesty's direct blood relatives are eligible to use! As long as the two of you can show your talents in front of the people inside, you can get promoted and get rich in seconds! After watching the knight captain ride away, Chel whispered to the two teenagers.

"You don't need to be promoted, but it's okay to get rich, it's better to give me a thousand gold coins!" Harrester is a bounty hunter who always remembers money.

"Then it's better for you to take the money, and I will take the position." Rhine originally wanted to be a knight, but after seeing the majestic appearance of the knight captain, he also wanted to be a half-official position.

"Aha, you two little guys, let's think about how to behave. And if you anger people, it's a head-off thing! Chell reminded with a smile.

Halleste and Rhein said goodbye to the bard and the proprietress and rode after them under the envious gaze of the crowd.
